Kohh talking about the drug use in japan is real kind made me realize how true it is. Im a brooklyn born japanese but i know my mom use to say my grandpa was into drugs deep and how he had a bad gambling problem and even dealt with the mafia. Even now i still dont hear about that side of things but it is def there
Ugh why didn't you hire a better translator (aka me lol) that's from NY but knows the j-hiphop culture too. You tryna tell the audience about how there's a side of Japan that people don't usually see just by visiting and this rapper is being the trailblazer and you lost in translation...smh. Makes me sad, when international musicians have these opportunities and they're not able to show their full potential because you cost cutting on translators...
when i heard him in that song i was like he has a very dope flow thats more Americanized...he sounds like hes dropping bars..no wonder fabolous made him wanna rap.
THANK YOUUUU. My jaw dropped when she said that with zero empathy in her voice… like girl? She was prying and in such a gross way. Why bring that up at all.
I’m reading the comments saying this, and lowkey don’t even want to continue the vid because of it…I hope he didn’t understand her or his translator ignored it because Jesus Christ 😔 have some tact!
+RYO THA ILLIST yea shit is crazy I can remember back when I first seen the news that he has passed. Samurai champloo put me on him way back when still rocking his music to this day.
I think the main reason I vibe to KOHH so much is the lyrics they truly are deep meaningful and in all is so creative with the wordplay. You don't get to hear such positive things in the way he just makes it his own.
Interesting interview... I've always had a trip to Japan on my bucketlist . The whole Japanese hip-hop scene is large and they have a genuine appreciation for our culture.
I been listening to KOHH for a minute. He's got some cuts and even thought I don't know what he's saying his songs are fire. I'm waiting for him to do shows out here.
I love KOHH. I think he's such a cool and fresh guy with a new fresh look and style in his music. Also, I'm pretty tired of music from the US and UK. I mean, yeah guys you've got some really dope artists but the rest of the world does too, let them in! It's crazy that KOHH isn't a big star already - i've been following him for almost 2 years now.
He needed a better translator so he could be more comfortable to speak about his music/passion because I know he probably was super stoked to be there but didn’t know how to articulate it the best way… He’s owed a better interview. LOVE KOHH NEVER NEVER FORGET!
I'm so honored to watch this one that Japanese hip hop artist came up in Hot 97,but everyone knows the problem is different language between Japanese and English.. And also I'm sad kohh couldn't explain his new album... But I know how hard Japanese people speak English If there was real translator,it would have been much better and awesome. Kohh eventually became world artist,this is great evidence,well done, I will support him as fan and one of Japanese person!!!!!!
I like the fact he’s true to hip hop rapping about what’s going on in the ghettos of Japan the struggles the drug use and how he’s over coming it while shedding lite on the real issue
Good way to expand his fanbase doing these kinds of interviews even though it probably is a little weird at his current language level. Especially with how fast the interviewers talk and the language they use, that shit is intimidating for someone just learning lol.
Wish the volume was higher. I'm really hoping to see more of Kohh here in the USA. I listen to a lot of his Japanese music.He can really make it here even if he is only speaking Japanese.
He knows a little English and j stash has probably picked up a little Japanese after hanging with him for a while. Also he has someone around to translate. After a while you learn how to get past that language barrier.
KOHH is most worldwide than all the rappers his generation. This guy can speak one of the hardest language in the world ! his talent took him to HOT 97 ! if you keep hating bring your local artist in a Tokyo interview . good luck
This was cool to see them being interviewed but I wish they would have asked about Loota too and had a better rep for them so things could have been translated more clearly.
Laura did a good job on her own in this interview. Especially considering she was dealing with a person who doesn't understand the English language fully.
I saw him live at Rhymester in Tokyo and he brings the energy. So fucking good and so humble. He always thanked everyone after each song.... respect 会いたい! >.< 頑張ってKOHH~~~
It's unfortunate that he's not able to comprehend the questions because he clearly he doesn't understand English well and unable to have a conversation due to not having a translator . I feel he has the potential to become a worldwide artist and influence everyone with his music if only the language wasn't the barrier. I love Kohh even though I don't speak Japanese. Hopefully we are able to get translators so we can fully understand him as an artist .
Hey, HOT 97! I really appreciate this interview. I became a fan of KOHH last year when I saw him on "ITGMA." I have a bunch if rap and hip hop music from Asia on my CZcams channel and Facebook page. If you want, you can check it out on my CZcams profile or on Facebook (facebook.com/bowloframenmusic). I'm from Miami, so if he wants to do a show in New York, then he should do one here too lol.
I'm shocked they got Kohh, respect
same
fr
KOHH'S VERSE ON IT G MA WAS FLAMES
Fr
that shit is iconic.
people will neva neva neva foget
lmao
best verse on the song
AAAAAIIIIR FORCE ONE
"I heard that his Father committed sucide." Why would she say that shit like it's a normal to bring that up, especially in this setting
I know ? the whole interview is fucking messed...
I know ? the whole interview is fucking messed...
I agree
women reporter
Fr
I thought kohh was high during this interview but then I found out he doesn't speak English .
fluently but he understood to some degree.
i know that he cant speak English before i watched.
because He is Japanese.
We dont have to Speak ENGLISH.
We can do business without English. lol
+iReezyEFK good to have pride huh?
its not having pride
its truth.
+iReezyEFK Check out @ToneDollarz on CZcams

Even now i still dont hear about that side of things but it is def there
japan only show good sides and japan is very good at hiding bad side of the country but overall japan is good country but it has many flaws.
Drugs and yakuza is regular stuff in Japan... If you live in Tokyo
@@vvsfuyukai まあまあ、俺のlevelのはn3だ
Ugh why didn't you hire a better translator (aka me lol) that's from NY but knows the j-hiphop culture too.

Lol the translator barely knew English himself like wtf I hope you're a close friend not someone that they hired.
I'm pretty sure that's kohhs friend....not the "translator"
He was Kohh's friend
Well hot 97 has spoken
Well then he needs new friends lol jk but I just really think this interview could have been so much better :-/
Never never never forget!!!!
when i heard him in that song i was like he has a very dope flow thats more Americanized...he sounds like hes dropping bars..no wonder fabolous made him wanna rap.

this just made my day. THANK YOU HOT 97 for having KOHH.
Kinda not cool that she casually brought up papa kohh's suicide like real casual tho
THANK YOUUUU. My jaw dropped when she said that with zero empathy in her voice… like girl? She was prying and in such a gross way. Why bring that up at all.
I’m reading the comments saying this, and lowkey don’t even want to continue the vid because of it…I hope he didn’t understand her or his translator ignored it because Jesus Christ 😔 have some tact!
"yeah, his father commited suicide and shit.."
She ain't even say that to him smh... Talking like he's not even in the room. Asking his homie all the questions 🙄
its awesome to see international artists digging each others styles so much and just respecting their music.
She talking like he know all he saying 😭
- Exactly smh 🤦♂️. Should of had a translator for him. No brainer!
and YOUR typing like how he speaks
Btw love your music
I just want to take the time out of my day to pay respect to one of my favorite artists who is also from Japan R.I.P. My nigga nujabes.
lost so many, nujabes, tokona-x, BIG-T also never forget TERRY THE AKI-06
+RYO THA ILLIST yea shit is crazy I can remember back when I first seen the news that he has passed. Samurai champloo put me on him way back when still rocking his music to this day.
respect
YES LEGEND
I'm glad to see KOHH is getting noticed. KOHH is such a unique person/artist he really deserves this
is this arigato shoelace susu dude
Yes
konbasu
this killed me hahahaha
lol you forgot
AIRFORCE-SU ONE
lol
kohh's not high. he just does not speak English well.
I think the main reason I vibe to KOHH so much is the lyrics they truly are deep meaningful and in all is so creative with the wordplay. You don't get to hear such positive things in the way he just makes it his own.
KOHH IS FIRE, BEEN LISTENING TO HIM FOR A WHILE, DONT SLEEP!!
he's so cute with his short answers
Yvon Noel what
tf?
LMFAOOO deadass
Yvon Noel holy shit dude, u need to chill the fuck out. you're aware that you are embarrassing yourself, right?
Yvon Noel lmaoooooooo okay
Interesting interview... I've always had a trip to Japan on my bucketlist . The whole Japanese hip-hop scene is large and they have a genuine appreciation for our culture.
Saw him live two days ago, literally the kindest dude ever.
his translator barely knew English
Loool
prolly wasn't his translator
he is not his translator lmaoo
And he was insecure didn't dare to step in
If you pause at 5:17, the guy on the right is just makin a face like "Fuuuck, I said I sorta speak English"
GandaPain haha so true, I can't believe they didn't get a translator on set like wtf
this is Dope I'm glad they really took time to check kohh out as a artist for real.
We see you Laura! Looking forward to watching you polish those solo skills.
Wow congrats for being one of the first ppl to interview kohh from the states this is d.a legendary
I been listening to KOHH for a minute. He's got some cuts and even thought I don't know what he's saying his songs are fire. I'm waiting for him to do shows out here.

expected more from the interview but his music sounds fire AF... that Paris track🔥🔥🔥
He needed a better translator so he could be more comfortable to speak about his music/passion because I know he probably was super stoked to be there but didn’t know how to articulate it the best way… He’s owed a better interview. LOVE KOHH NEVER NEVER FORGET!

he's so cute omg Kohh
I like the fact he’s true to hip hop rapping about what’s going on in the ghettos of Japan the struggles the drug use and how he’s over coming it while shedding lite on the real issue
"He Kills it"..... he really did. Kohhs verse on It G Ma is the best of the four I think. Amazing.
KOHH is greatness - Team Tomodachi!
Good way to expand his fanbase doing these kinds of interviews even though it probably is a little weird at his current language level. Especially with how fast the interviewers talk and the language they use, that shit is intimidating for someone just learning lol.
Wish the volume was higher. I'm really hoping to see more of Kohh here in the USA. I listen to a lot of his Japanese music.He can really make it here even if he is only speaking Japanese.
KOHH is a legend... A Living Legend (y)
Didn't expect kohh here. Really happy that he is being recognized. He is dope AF. i though he could speak english guess i was wrong
aye even if he didnt talk much its good to see him on hot97
just cause u got kohh im subbing
it's crazy it took about 3 to 4 years for Kohh to be recognized in certain parts of America. Vice did it first if I'm not mistaken.
Get this guy the interview he deserves
kohh is so soft and shy i love him sm
I can't believe KOHH is at Hot 97... Respect
KOHH getting recognized more, that's crazy. My favorite song on Dirt II is Hate Me.
How does j stash chill with kohh all the time if hes not good in english lol
He knows a little English and j stash has probably picked up a little Japanese after hanging with him for a while. Also he has someone around to translate. After a while you learn how to get past that language barrier.
Wasn't j stash living in Japan for like a year or two? He hit his girl then moved to Japan.
he seems nervous, he's probably atleast conversational
J stash can speak his language to but kohh been known cause j stash
As someone who studies languages and I can tell you its a lot different talking to your homie vs doing an interview.
Good for you Laura doing your thang
Were can I find all his music I saw him perform live on a show and god damn did he kill it
Kohh is my inspiration!
Christ, this is a pleasant surprise. Kohh is mad dope.
They’re speaking SOO fast! Props to Kohh for keeping up considering English is not his first language
"people dont realize hes on it g ma" LOL right even though thats basically what made him grow in popularity
Kohh英語あんまり喋れないのにインタビュー受けてるのすごいよ。彼を尊敬。
Bro just dropped 🔥
KOHH is most worldwide than all the rappers his generation. This guy can speak one of the hardest language in the world ! his talent took him to HOT 97 ! if you keep hating bring your local artist in a Tokyo interview . good luck
Please interview Keith ape or jay park and the entire AOMG or illionaire gang 😭😭 people should know about those cause it's really amazing
This was cool to see them being interviewed but I wish they would have asked about Loota too and had a better rep for them so things could have been translated more clearly.
holy shit. they finally have Kohh. I hope they bring on the older artists that paved the way in Asia
Lol, KOHH is too cute! He was struggling to talk english, but it's so cute!
Kohh and fab would be pure heat!!!!
Laura did a good job on her own in this interview.
Especially considering she was dealing with a person who doesn't understand the English language fully.
business and art is one of kohhs good songs
I'm actually live in korea as korean but also listen japan hiphop and there many potential i think
KOHH IS RAW TALENT
I was just excited to hear him speak English
He said Fabolous. That's dope
KOHHもここまできたか！
うれしい！
最kohhやな
バンフリオダニー 最低の間違い
Love Kohh. Please do Song Minho from Korea
Wow Kohh really came to the interview.
i love kohh alot 😇😇
kohh is so dope I wish they had a better translator is was more like them talking with kohh as the prop
I saw him live at Rhymester in Tokyo and he brings the energy. So fucking good and so humble. He always thanked everyone after each song.... respect 会いたい! >.< 頑張ってKOHH~~~
Kohh is the man
My all time favorite rapper
It's unfortunate that he's not able to comprehend the questions because he clearly he doesn't understand English well and unable to have a conversation due to not having a translator . I feel he has the potential to become a worldwide artist and influence everyone with his music if only the language wasn't the barrier. I love Kohh even though I don't speak Japanese. Hopefully we are able to get translators so we can fully understand him as an artist .
HIROI SEKKAI go hard I can't even spell it lmaoooo but it's still good
"the tough part of Japan" lmao He is from Tokyo, Oji station on the Saikyo line.😂😂😂😂
She said "his father committed suicide" so secondarily I was like woah what the hell
I first heard of him on Japanese-American singer Utada Hikaru's song "Boukyaku" been listening to him since
いきなりオススメ出てきた
dope kohh
im proud because she did mentioned joe flizzow from malaysia
KOHH and loota are amazing
Hey, HOT 97! I really appreciate this interview. I became a fan of KOHH last year when I saw him on "ITGMA." I have a bunch if rap and hip hop music from Asia on my CZcams channel and Facebook page.

I could have translated his Japanese to English no problem~ shame he wasn't able to communicate further...
